The relentless pursuit of viral fame on social media has sparked a new wave of disruption in India, turning public spaces into battlegrounds for content creation. Peaceful commutes and quiet moments in public areas have vanished as influencers and aspiring creators wield their smartphones like weapons, filming content without regard for the inconvenience they cause to those around them. A recent video showing a woman reclining atop a baggage carousel at an airport has brought attention to the problem of obstruction caused by content creation.

This phenomenon transcends specific platforms or locations. Whether you’re squeezed into a crowded metro train, vying for space on a local bus, or just navigating a bustling street, chances are you’ll encounter someone obstructing the flow of movement for the sake of a viral reel. Schools, colleges, and even offices haven’t escaped this intrusion. The pervasive “reel-mania” has turned these everyday spaces into an ongoing stage for cringe-inducing content, leaving ordinary people to endure the disruption.
